Introduction
Gather the ingredients before starting to make the old fashioned because this is a drink made and served in the same glass and you do not want the ice to water down the flavors before serving.You will need:
- 1/4 ounce simple syrup (a 2 to 1 ratio of sugar and water)
- 2 dashes of bitters
- 2 ounce of Bourbon
- 1 slice orange zest
- Ice to fill the glass
Step 1: Start with the Simple Syrup and Bitters
Add the simple syrup to the old fashioned glass and shake in the bitters. If you prefer to make the syrup in the glass, add one sugar cube and a splash of water and muddle the two until no sugar crystals remain. After the syrup is formed, continue making the old fashioned as directed.Step 3: Add Bourbon and Ice
Pour the bourbon into the glass and stir to combine the flavors. Add ice to fill the glass and stir to chill the drink. You can garnish the old fashioned cocktail with a slice of orange and a cherry placed on a swizzle stick.That is all it takes to make an old fashioned cocktail. Enjoy and please drink responsibly.
